Box Office

[SAIYANS]

I'm planning on seeing them and GI Joe in succession. Saw Snitch two Saturdays ago and DMD last Saturday. Very much more of an adult movie than any wwe film has ever been, and boy does wade use the word fuck a lot lol

Poor result for DMD even if it was only running in just over 2000 theatres. With all the promotion that it had it really should have been able to get closer to the $10 million mark. One thing that may have turned some people away is the fact that after watching the trailer you don't get a clear idea of what the plot is, you get some basics but that is about it. Should do a lot better on DVD though.

Very good opening for Oz, couldn't get close to Alice and Wonderland's level but $80 million is a strong start.

The Call is up next weekend along with The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. I doubt that there would be many crossover viewers so it should do alright.

Actually saw Oz on Sunday. Really good flick actually. The fact worked very well together. I don't get all the hate for Franco, he was actually really good in this. Probably the best performance I've seen from him in a long while. Sets up for a Dorothy film also. They did a good job with it.

Call kicked DMDs ass which was very good. Hope it earns more because Halle put in work

 

[Troy]

Great opening for The Call especially as it was in only 2500 theatres. This would be a lot higher than WWE would have even predicted and it should be able to go close to $45 million with that start. Dead Man Down keeps dropping and to not have even hit $10 million after ten days isn't good. WWE will hope that International markets make up the difference and that it is a big success on the home market to break even. Burt Wonderstone had a terrible start, I saw it and I liked it but I will say that to me it was more of a romcom than a pure comedy. It was more about Steve Carell's characters development and growth as a person than it was about just laugh after laugh.

Next week the wide releases are The Croods, Olympus Has Fallen, Admission and Spring Breakers. Very eclectic mix of movies.

 

[SAIYANS]

Dmdm is more suited for international markets IMO, its basically more so about foreigners and foreign groups/crime

 

[Troy]

It has an Australian release date in a couple of months so I will probably check it out. That kind of movie normally does alright on the home market as well, will still need to earn a lot more before they can break even though.

 

[Troy]

The Croods - $44.7 million
Olympus Has Fallen - $30.5 million
Oz the Great and Powerful - $22 million
The Call - $8.7 million
Admission - $6.5 million

Biggest surprise was Olympus Has Fallen which was expected to get anywhere close to that mark. The Call did well to only drop 49% and is well on the way to profitability. Can't say the same for Dead Man Down which plummeted 85% and is only on $10.6 million after three weeks. Needs big numbers overseas or on the home market to save it.

Wow, The Croods is doing pretty well. Looks like a fun movie.

Hey at least you're safe when you bring your kid. Do you know what it looks like when a 22 year old is getting a ticket just for himself to go see an animated movie?

 

[Troy]

GI Joe opened a day early and pulled in $10.5 million. On track for about $45 million over the weekend which is an alright number. Not as big as the first GI Joe but that had a much better release date and I expect international numbers to be better this time around thanks to The Rock and Bruce Willis.

My girlfriend and I went to a 10 PM showing of Wreck-It Ralph, theater was full of adults, hardly any kids. Go at night.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation pulled in $51.7M, not bad at all. Tyler Perry's Temptation and The Host debuted with 22.3 and 11 million dollars respectively.
